IND vs PAK Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium features a pitch that strongly favors the batters. During the early phases of the game, bowlers will receive minimal support, prompting the batters to seize control. 

Nevertheless, the pitch's pace will decrease, offering an advantage to the spin bowlers. For the captain winning the toss, selecting to bowl first might prove to be a strategic choice at this location.
